      That’s how I felt watching it. 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️ Great Corgan interview though, when he was able to speak. Billy was kind, entertaining and very calculated/thoughtful in his responses. 🏆 Though I agree with Mayer’s hinting-around of political control (masks) and censorship (fat) whole heartedly…his rambling on fat people was exhausting. “Call it as it is”? Absolutely. But talk about the politics and capitalism thats creating and maintaining that problem, that obv doesnt exist to the same degree in other countries…per Billy’s subtle nod to Australia. Mayer talks like he doesn’t get it, and doesn’t want to cause they’re an affront to him.

    I have a ton of respect for Billy, he’s never been a typical rock star & has for the most part kept great control of his career & his head on straight. Pretty sure he’d Myers-Briggs as an INFJ, he projects a lot of those qualities. His endeavors outside of music have been pretty cool, too, Madame Zuzu’s is awesome - been a great venue for him to utilize for smaller performances. His entrepreneurial skills/choices have been quite interesting.

      The general public whom we love to death mostly except those who are incredibly not willing to learn and not treat others how they want to be treated. We still love them too but they really need to change soon because we are as we speak living in the times of the last pages of certain famous old books, cough pardon me here. We could all use a "great awakening potion" of some sorts here. Get the general public to not go woke but to wake up to REALITY of what is really going on here. Alternative media is so censored that it is speaking to the choir for many years now. We need all eyes on what we are really dealing with that matters to folks. What am I talking about here? Glad you asked. Manipulated Gas prices, food shortages, car parts inflated, grocery inflation. rent and bills inflated, the border, etc. Common folks are not paying any attention to the Senate Hearings because the mainstream are involved in the crimes because of all of the blackmail and corruption. Their excuse is that they are just doing what they are told to do. That is called either Slavery or involvement.

      As a guitarist, he's always been recognized among musicians. He's been looked over by the general public because he was overshadowed by Morello, Dimebag, Cantrell, and to some extent McCready. But he's one of a handful of guitarists that you can give any guitar to and his own sound comes out. Said differently, if you asked 10 guitarists to cover the same song, I could tell you which one was Billy Corgan.

      I'm close to Bill's age but I feel older when he talks so juvenile at times. Maybe in some ways he is mature and others very stunted. He will always think of women as bodies which is why they need to be young and nubile which is honest and fine but the fact he can't get why people marry or have long marriages is sad. I suppose though it's his lifestyle to some extent. If he became anything else, a professor, a more "average' job, he might be a different person. He was always trying to become someone else since he went to college. I hope he is more secure than he comes off in interviews.

      Yeah, Billy made some good points about "Our American Problem" and Bill gave him a completely tone-deaf response that showed me he never listened to a word of it.
      Love ya Bill, but this one was a fail.
      See for yourself: Billy's comment starts at 57:40 and Bill's non-response to Billy is at 59:25. Bill either wasn't listening or he was reluctant to be honest about it so he just dodged Billy's comment completely.
      For all of his talk about how brave he is Bill is still scared to really be honest about "Our American Problem."
      I really enjoyed the show otherwise. I hope this strike ends soon.

    Billy is real cool and a genuine person. What you see I think is what you get. I met him a long time ago before they were huge. After the show he was the only one that people weren’t crowded around for whatever reason. That night there was a bomb threat at the club so we had the option of receiving a refund but we of course chose to attend anyway. The show was stellar and the entire band was really good and we just had the feeling that the band was going to be big but who knew they would actual rock stars? When speaking to him after the show, he was just a super friendly person and very generous with his time despite having just played and sang his brains out for 2 hours.

      😂 Yeah because they are past 40 and have no looks left and now can't get men with looks and money. Never buy what someone else has had for free. Who the hell wants a woman past 40. I'm not a necrophiliac.

      Pumpkins w/Garbage was also my first proper, theater/arena rock concert. I was there to see Garbage, actually. When the lights went back up after the show, near me were a few young teens who kept going on about how it was "the best concert I've ever seen!!", which at my advanced age of all of about 3 years older than them, made me chuckle, because how many concerts could those kids have been to? At the same time, I knew I'd never seen anything like it either. All these years later, that show is still one of the best concerts I've been to. Those kids were right!
